Former CBS News president Richard Salant (1961 - 64 and 1966 - 79) explained the major media's role: "Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we decide they ought to have." ...and to this very day most Americans haven't noticed they're being brained washed! ~ N. Hooben

America is in Jeopardy

by Norman E. Hooben

For all the channels television has to offer there's very few that I watch on a regular basis...and I live at two locations; one with satellite television and the other with a cable subscription. In my opinion the cable subscription has it all over the satellite thing which is a complete waste of money for from my wallet. But I'm not here to talk about the pros and cons of one system versus the other. More often than naught I try to watch the quiz show Jeopardy; it has to have some of the smartest contestants in the world. A highlight of any show is when I give myself an 'atta-boy' for knowing the question to the answer (contestants have to precede their answer in the "What is... or Who is..." format), especially if the contestant has not responded. It never ceases to amaze me the broad categories that the contestants have knowledge of...world history, ancient history, opera, popular music, mathematics, science, medicine, politics, current events and the list goes on but I'll stop right their; politics and current events. Whatever the category was tonight does not matter. What matters was the correct response from any one of the three participants. The wording was very clear such that I gave myself an 'atta-boy' for the correct response to two of Alex Trebec's (the show's moderator) questions. But that's not the point.The point is none of the contestants knew Leon Panetta or General Petraeus. Give me a break! The smartest people in the world and they did not know! I bet these people vote, and if the do, we're in big trouble. Jeopardy to say the least! Anyone that is eligible to vote should at least know what is going on within their government. The two people mentioned above have been in the news and have played major roles in the game of politics in the last six or more years. And when un-informed voters vote the game will soon be over and it won't end with some prize for the smartest but a surprise for the dumbest!Meanwhile, I was a poll watcher on more than one occasion so I have witnessed some of the corrupt practices that go on at the voting precinct. What concerns me most about this is that none or very few of the people involved with the corruption get any punishment...and the corruption continues. I once hung up the phone on a corrupt judge who would not come down to the polling place. Long story short... I told her to get down here and do her job. She never showed up. Then there's any number of video's on YouTube and elsewhere that captures corrupt practices. "Caught on camera.", so the saying goes! I got this one from BizPac Review:

The guerilla journalists at James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas Action have done it again, using undercover video expose an election system in North Carolina where voter fraud is virtually the normal way of doing business.In a video released Thursday, a Project Veritas investigator posed as an illegal immigrant who’d mistakenly been able to register to vote under President Obama’s 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, a sweeping presidential directive that granted some illegal aliens the right to stay in the country without fear of deportation. ...continue reading here

Quote Of The Day

“If the truth is just my opinion then the truth will never be known.” ~ Norman E. Hooben"Massachusetts can survive an Elizabeth Warren. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made her their senator." ~ Norman E. Hooben"Not since the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991, and before that the fall of France in 1940, has there been so swift an erosion of the world influence of a Great Power as we are witnessing with the United States." ~ Conrad BlackTo make clear that Islam is in fact a military movement rather than a religion, please consider that Islam does not ask one to emulate the humble, kind, peaceful, compassionate, loving Jesus but rather the arrogant, violent, brutal, lustful, savage military commander and beheading ruler Mohammed. It's all in the staging. ~ by BernieOur society chooses to pay for bastards and wonders why the number of bastards increases. Our society refuses to support poor families with married fathers in residence, and wonders why the number of single mothers increases. Our society pays for single motherhood, and wonders why we get it. Our society gives stipends to unemployed and/or homeless males, and wonders why we get more and more of them. — Bill Quick (More like this here)The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president.The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.” ~ Author UnknownThe real goal of "health care" legislation, the real goal of "cap-and-trade," and the real goal of the "stimulus" is to rip the guts out of our private economy and transfer wide swaths of it over to the government to control. Do not be deluded by the propaganda. These initiatives are vehicles for change. They are not goals in and of themselves except in their ability to deliver power. They and will make matters much worse, for that is their design. ~ November 23, 2009 Cloward-Piven Government By James Simpson

Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never, in nothing, great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. - Winston Churchill

George had the foresight to see the Clintons, CFR, New York Times, and Obama on the horizon.

"...To be clear, the Constitution of the United States of America is the United States of America. They are one and the same.

The truth to the matter is that Obama lies but he does it with such finess that the easily fooled are easily fooled. ~ Norman E. Hooben

"Going for the grandest illusion of all, [Obama] ... told the New York Times: 'We've actually been operating in a way that has been entirely consistent with free-market principles.' Excuse me while I pick my jaw off the ground. Everyone knows -- or should know -- that putting more and more of the government in charge of more and more of the economy is entirely inconsistent with free-market principles. This means that the president's statement to the contrary is what is known as a big lie." --columnist Diana West

We the people…We the people now have a New World Order that we the people did not order. Norman E. Hooben

"We are now in a great civil war of words and you have the honor of participating as a true patriot. The battle has not been won but you will be there when we are victorious. The pen is mightier than the sword and you will inscribe your name in the book of freedom…and that, my friend is an honor." (Norman E. Hooben in response to a writer who complained of not having the honor of serving in the U.S. Military)

"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." -Winston Churchill

The Police State of Massachusetts is now imposing laws against nature. Massachusetts is by far the most un-Constitutional government of the State, by the State, and for the State than any among the the fifty that hold a star on the banner of freedom. It is run by Socialists and hypocritical so-called Christians…the worst among them are the Catholics who go to Church on Sunday and forget what they Prayed for on Monday. - Norman E.

The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny. - James Madison, the Federalists Papers

There was a Chemistry professor in a large college that had some Exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab the Prof noticed one young man (exchange student) who kept rubbing his back And stretching as if his back hurt.
The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a new communist government.
In the midst of his story he looked at the professor and asked a strange question. He asked,'Do you know how to catch wild pigs?' The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The young man said this was no joke. 'You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come everyday to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side. The pigs, who are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat, you slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd. Suddenly, the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity. The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening to America.
The government keeps pushing us toward Communism/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc. while we continually lose our freedoms- just a little at a time.
One should always remember 'There is no such thing as a free Lunch!' Also, 'You can never hire someone to provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself.

You apparently don't share a sense of patriotism, Americanism, freedomism, or whatever kind of 'ism' that true Americans believe in... You do however, display a bit of socialism, communism, marxism or whatever kind of 'ism' that you make excuses for... ~ Norman E. Hooben (in response to an Obama supporter's views about the ACS census)

Anation that knows not from where it came, knows not where it is going!Today, Americans know too little about the foundations of our nation.The result is a nation now in chaos, its people unable to discern what is wrong with the transformation (paradigm shift) of our society and form of government that, if left unchecked, will destroy every facet of freedom, liberty and justice.The price of freedom is vigilance; the price of vigilance is knowledge.Many of America's founding documents are now available on the web. ~
